Neuromuscular Plasticity Noons Sign Up is now open

PhD students and postdocs: Sign up to present your research ASAP before the best time-slots are filled! Email lbialosk@phhp.ufl.edu with three choices of dates and times, in order of preference.

Neuromuscular Plasticity Noons: From Genes to Brain to Nerve to Muscle to Behavior!

• PhD students and postdocs are invited to present talks about their own research.
• Scientists in all roles are invited to listen and participate in interactive discussions, including:
o Students at every level, from undergraduate students to postdoctoral fellows
o Technicians and
o Faculty

Format: Two 20-25 minute talks, separated by a sandwich break.Neuromuscular Plasticity Noons Sign up:Presentations on research projects at any stage of completion are welcome although first priority is given to graduate students who are more advanced in their program of study. Talks should be self-contained. They should begin with a brief statement of the overall research objectives and why they are important, and should include methods, results and conclusions. They may include future directions, and ask for feedback on specific issues or on the research design.

Goals:
• To enhance interdisciplinary education related to basic and translational aspects of the full scope of basic and clinical behavioral and neurosciences.

• To facilitate interchange, understanding, and collaboration among University of Florida laboratories investigating different aspects of neuro-muscular plasticity.
